Time is of the essence. I have three days off. It's fine if I don't beat it in time. It's slim pickings since I've played a million games. I'm awful at starting games, but once I do I tend to go all out. There's just too many good games nowadays.

Last games I've played were DA: Inquisition, Infamous Second Son, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Arkham Knight, Undertale, and Last of us Remastered.

Brand new:

AC Black Flag

MGSV: Phantom Pain

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Dragon Age 2

Divinity Original Sin Enhanced

Legend of the Heroes: Trails in the Sky

Pillars of Eternity

Super Mario 3D World

Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone only

Bloodborne Old Hunters only

Replays that aren't "fresh" - at least nine months old or years in some cases:

Ni No Kuni

Super Mario U

Witcher 3 core game +

Bloodborne core game +

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

Heavy Rain HD (Played original 4 times)

I just can't decide. HELP! I've played just about every good game in the past ten years, so please focus on what's here. I'm trying to bide my time until Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, Starfox, and Valkyria Chronicles HD.

Thanks! My friends want me to play Path of Exile all weekend, but I'm in no mood.

Aight I will throw in my thoughts, take them as you will.

AC: Black Flag (This game is just fun, you have 3 days though, so ignore some of the sidequests, Black Flag is the first AC game I enjoyied for a long time, and my preferred one.

Divinity Original Sin (This WILL require co-op) DoS is a really REALLY good game, in fact I would call it a great game, but it is really awesome in co-op. It is likely still very good in SP though. Awesome combat, and just a game made to be fun.

Pillars of Eternity (Pick this over DoS if you play SP) A long game, with some degree of depth, it is more story heavy then the others, and requires a slower approach, it is a great throwback to RPGs of old, and if you liked games like BG or IWD, this might make you feel somewhat at home.

BG was my first isometric PC RPG back in 98, 99? and I have much love for it. It was my first favorite PC RPG next to MM6, so It's definitely an idea. I also appreciate a good story above all. I didn't really know it had one. That definitely has an appeal.

I might just give it a go. I've played 20 hours of Original Sin, but unfortunately I lost my saves because my ex-gf reformatted and "forgot" to backup the damn folder. I was going to play it on PS4 this time, but it's a lot to trudge through again and the story wasn't all that great yet, at least by the time I hit the forest map.

I'm in the "I love AC2" boat, but haven't wanted to play one since because Ubisoft chose to bombard the market with titles every year instead of making a fantastic game every two like I wish they would. Pirates just sounds super fun. I've never played a game like it.

Thanks for the response. I'm pretty easy. It's just hard to decide when there's so many damn games. I always prefer SP unless I have certain friends playing (good ones).

@chronadar: Well if I was you I would probably play Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and The Witcher Wild Hunt. These are the best games I've ever played last year and I would recommend it to you too. If you like AC games ACBF is one of the best with awesome story, gameplay and environment. The Witcher is simply the Withcer, it's awesomeness!

All are good choices, but I would go with The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone, assuming you already played through the main game. If not that, Dragon Age 2, Dragon's Dogma, or AC Black Flag might be good choices. Super Mario 3D World is also a pretty good choice.
